Didn't wanna spend the money on the expensive ones so I seen a DIY on bimmerfest.com , used their basic diagram just modified it slightly to clear my c6Z06. Well long story short they appear to work excellent.

I am going to pick up plastidip and spray them over for extra grip on the bottom and just a general clean look

go to home depot.

get a 2x12 x 16 ft piece of wood

cut it into 2 x (15", 21", 27", 33") = 96 x 2= 16'ft

screw them one on top of the other

then use some sort of dremel, or cutter, or saw and angle the edges.

thats it !

enjoy

Ah, but they will never provide the benefits Race Ramps are known for:

We manufacture from a solid core of industrial high density expanded polystyrene - so they are strong, but weigh less than 15 lbs. per ramp. They also have a carry strap which allows them to be hung on a wall hook.

We coat them with a hybridized polyurea so that they are durable and won't slip.

Plus Race Ramps come in a two-piece version that allows removal of the incline portion to provide increased access to the underside of the car.

You built yourself a nice pair of wooden ramps. However, you didn't build the equivalent of Race Ramps!

Ah. sorry maybe Iam wrong BUT my Vettes are worth a lot of money. And maybe yours might be too. Why don't you get safe ones from Race Ramps they don't slip out they grab very well and they are wide. Don't you thing your vette is worth it for the money you spend on a good ramp I DO.

My parents had a 40 foot motor home that dad had made a set just like 6spdg37s made. He used those things all the time to help level that barge out. HELL of lot heavier than a Vette. Used them for years till they got rid of the motor home.

I used Rhino ramps, for years, on my C5. When I bought the 06 Z06, I couldn't use them because of the approach angle being too steep, and the chin spoiler being too low. I made these ramps, to get the car onto the Rhinos (image stolen from the guy who gave me the idea). They work great.

I spend my money wisely.
When Race Ramps prices their product at a reasonable value, I'll consider buying a set. Until then.....I'll continue to use my wood ramps.

My home made ramps:
will last forever
are practical
are wide
are two piece also to remove the "ramp"
are less than 1/3 the cost of plastic formed Race Ramps.

I don't understand your statement about Race Ramps being "plastic formed". Sounds like you are under the impression they are injection molded?

Race Ramps are cut from a solid block of industrial high density expanded polystyrene (same stuff they use as a foundation for road beds, and when building bridges). This provides strength and their weight is a fraction of metal or wood ramps. They are then coated with a hybridized polyurea to make them durable, and non-slip. Expensive high-performance materials, well developed engineering and quality production differentiate Race Ramps.

Plus termites won't eat 'em...

Many people buy Race Ramps as they see them as a reasonable value. After purchasing and using the ramps the value is confirmed. Many happy owners can be found on Digital Corvettes.

That raises a question. Are there any folks out there who purchased Race Ramps and do not feel they received a reasonable value?
